Summary
Madhu Konety is a founder and product-driven CEO based in Palo Alto with a multi-decade track record of building and scaling AI-enabled product businesses that deliver measurable commercial impact. He founded Icecream Labs to bring NLP, CV, and LLM solutions to retail and CPG, driving over $100M in attributable value, and has since evolved the company into a venture studio that spins up vertical AI ventures like Commerceflow and Modo.ai. Madhu combines deep product leadership with hands-on technical grounding (MS in Computer Science) and a history of outcomes-focused go-to-market execution, from doubling product-line revenue at Network General to an early exit with Musambi/Apptuate. He also brings investment and portfolio playbook experience from roles at Be Capital and Deccan Emerging Ventures, where he led manager selection, due diligence, and AI-driven value-creation initiatives. Comfortable operating at the intersection of PE/VC, enterprise sales, and product engineering, he’s built a repeatable “90-day pilot-to-scale” playbook now used by private equity operating groups. Despite a self-deprecating Github bio, his career shows consistent leadership in turning research-grade AI and structured agent architectures into real P&L outcomes.
